    Can I use my own T-Mobile or ATT SIM card instead of dealer one?

    I got a 2016 S6 but have extra T-mobile and ATT lines with SIMs on my family accounts. Can I just use one of these instead of the one that came with the car? The data plan rates are so much lower so curious if there is a way to use one of these instead?

    I think you can just keep using your car's sim at $10/mo on mobile data share on ATT if you add it to your family plan.

    Can't speak to those two services personally, but I'm using a Truphone sim in mine, so it should be possible.

    I use AT&T sim that shares data from my family plan in my "2014" and it works. There is no reason why it wouldn't work with your 2016.

    You don't need to swap the SIM at all. Once your unlimited 6 months + 6GB runs out, log into AudiConnect on a computer and tell it you want to add the SIM to your mobile share plan.

    Probably at 3G. Why would you want to?

    I have an extra Tmobile line on my family plan and that's much cheaper than the current ATT rate for a new line
